Indoor Photography Ideas!
Too hot to go outside for your normal photography walks?
Here are some indoor photography ideas (and a few images below as examples):
House plants with water droplets (use a spray bottle)
Close Ups (lots of things look cool when you show only a hint of it)
Kitchenware (glass and metal make neat reflections)
Toys (put several toys together or take a sequence to tell a story)
Sparkly Background (crinkle up tin foil then use as a backdrop)
Food (make arrangements before you eat!)
Products (everything from lip gloss to motor oil)
Low-Key Lighting (darkened room and object lit by flashlight)

Want to work on composition skills?
We have a new item - a complete 30 day lesson book on Composition Basics. 60+ pages of learning in one digital book ($7.99)! It's a complete course in Composition and you don't need to know manual mode to use it! Each lesson includes background information, a teaching component, practice activities and more! Submit your practice work to us and get feedback too! This is also available as a paperback book from Amazon.com for those who want to have an actual book in their hands ($9.99).
For those who are familiar with composition and just want some reminders, we still offer our Composition cheat sheets and guides in our Etsy store for download ($2): Composition Basics Cheat Sheets
We've also added some photography journals to our store. These make great gifts and are the perfect way to keep track of settings, location ideas, or inspiration. https://www.etsy.com/shop/FocusEdCamera
